Can anyone suggest somewhere where I can buy old plain paper. I am after paper I can write on so that it appears as though it were written many years ago. There is nothing malicious about it, I promise.
I have tried Goggle and ask.com etc but only seem to get old newspapers of tips on making paper look old.

wel i remember doing this in prmary school - try dipping a piece of paper in tea then drying it
rub a used tea bag over the whole of a peice of paper, let it dry and then use it - son did this recently for school
used loo paper will be brown lol
use the real McCoy these cheap alternatives like gogle don't give you great results.
If you lightly brush a solution of either black tea or coffee onto some good quality thick cream coloured writing paper, let it dry and then place between two heavy books (to smooth out the wrinkles), you will find that it *ages* the paper... Don't put milk in the tea/coffee and just use the minimum amount of liquid...

To get that real *aged* effect, use a proper fountain pen and make sure you use your bestest most gorgeous calligraphic lettering. A note using a biro and modern lettering will give the game away.
Buy some old second hand books and rip out the flyleaf in the front.
